The Responsiveness of the Persian Version of Neck Disability Index and Functional Rating Index Following Physiotherapy Intervention in People with Chronic Neck Pain.
Article in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundClinicians and researchers commonly use responsive outcome measures to interpret changes in a patient's condition as a result of an intervention. This study was conducted to assess the ability of the Persian version of Neck Disability Index and Functional Rating Index to detect responsiveness in the patients with neck pain.
methodsA diagnostic accuracy study was done in Ahvaz, Iran, 2016. A convenience sample of 57 Persian-speaking patients with non-specific chronic neck pain completed the Neck Disability Index and the Functional Rating Index at the beginning and after physiotherapy intervention. The responsiveness was investigated by the receiver operating characteristics method and the correlation analysis. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS (version 21), with a P<0.05 as the level of significance.
resultsThe Functional Rating Index showed that the area under the curve was greater than 0.70 (range=0.651-0.942). The optimal cutoff points for the Functional Rating Index and the Neck Disability Index were 9.5 and 7.5, respectively. Gamma correlation between change scores of the Functional Rating Index and the Neck Disability Index and the Global Rating of Change Scores was 0.53 and 0.33, respectively.
conclusionThe results indicated that the Persian version of the Functional Rating Index could detect clinical changes following physiotherapy intervention in a group of patients with chronic non-specific neck pain. Therefore, we recommend that this instrument be used as a responsive measure of neck pain disability in patients with neck pain.
